Communion is an issue for all believers not just Catholics.
Haha. I love your silly judgmental comment. You know nothing about me and basically just told me not to go to church. lol. Maybe you need to sit down and talk with Jesus before you seat yourself on the throne of God oh pious one. Arrogant, self righteous elitism is hardly the preaching of Jesus. You cast your first stone with complete and utter ignorance of Jesus’s preaching. I pray for you. You bar the door of church for others that you judge and do not know. We all know that comes not from Jesus. But from the one true enemy of Jesus. You’ve shown your true Father and it is not Jesus Christ. Continued prayers for you. May the humility that comes from that e bearable in your future. As pride before the fall is the beginning of the end of ego.
Yeah. I don’t have a wife as I am female.
The most dismal period of the old testament is the time of the judges, where everyone did what was right in their own eyes. It’s now the new Papal instruction, does anybody else see a problem here?
When your spouse leaves you, so long as you do not take up with another partner you are not in sin by the fact that the spouse decamped. There was no “divorce.” Depending on the circumstance you may or may not be able to get the marriage annulled.
His direct attacks upon the Truth of Christ and His Church, his assaults upon the moral order in general and his aggressive promotion of and collusion with Marxists and Atheists and their projects are undisguised globalist tactics. In the spiritual realm, they are inseparably intertwined.
POPE PIUS XI ON ATHEISTIC COMMUNISM: "...There exists no matrimonial bond of a juridico-moral nature that is not subject to the whim of the individual or of the collectivity. Naturally, therefore, the notion of an indissoluble marriage-tie is scouted..."
DIVINI REDEMPTORIS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI ON ATHEISTIC COMMUNISM
Substitute “spouse.” I am male and there is a certain natural bias in my language and a total lack of PC sensibility.
You Do think that the definition of sin depends on the preacher you choose to listen to? That would make the preacher out to be God Himself or a plenipotentiary agent.
You’re not a Catholic.
You are entitled to your views, but they are irrelevant to the issues being discussed on this thread.
The title of this thread, “Divorced & remarried can receive communion if “at peace with God”, say Maltese bishops” says nothing about a caucus or that the statement is limited to Catholics. I’ve already been thanked by one Catholic for sounding off on this subject here. Communion is relevant to all believers. Can’t help it if you don’t like it.
Call it a Caucus thread if you don’t want a discussion about Scripture vs. Catholic doctrine.
Divorce and remarriage only excludes one from being an Elder or a Deacon, nothing else.
Easy for you to say if you’re not in this situation. I see as well that you have no problem judging others and calling them sinners. Three Our Fathers and three Hail Marys.

I didntc start the thread. I’m not threatening you. All I did was point out that your comments are irrelevant to anything going on in the Catholic Church.
Since we're discussing a Sacrament of the Catholic Church, where only a validly ordained priest of the church can consecrate bread and wine (not a lay person) into being the Body and Blood of Christ, the Church has full rights to decide who is eligible to receive Communion in order to not profane the Sacrament. By creating rules regarding reception, the Church does the best it can to prevent blasphemy and/or sacrilege from occurring. Since priests are the ones entrusted with the Body and Blood of Christ, everything regarding reception is under their, and the Church's, purview.
Without rules regarding reception, blasphemy and/or sacrilege would be more rampant than it is today.
Well, my comments are actually very relevant to what is going on in the Catholic Church as at least one Catholic on this thread has acknowledged saying she was glad for my comments which addresses separating the doctrines and traditions of men from the Word of God.
No, I was discussing communion, something common and available to all believers in Jesus Christ as Scripture teaches.
If you want to put yourself under the rules and canon of the Catholic Church that's your choice. But communion as laid out in Scripture is available to all believers.
I'm not going to get into some Catholic-Protestant argument. I couldn't care less what you believe as a Protestant. I'm explaining to you why there are rules in the Catholic Church as to who can receive the actual Body and Blood of Christ so that it isn't profaned. Whether you believe whether it's actually the actual Body and Blood of Christ or not, I don't care. I'm explaining the reasoning behind why the divorced and remarried receiving communion if "at peace with God" in the Catholic Church will increase blasphemy and sacrilege exponentially. I'd like the bishops to try to explain that to God.
And I couldn’t care less what you believe as a Catholic.
